Roma coach Enrique: I didn't expect Totti to miss

AS Roma coach Luis Enrique was disappointed with Francesco Totti's failed spotkick at the end of their 1-1 draw with Juventus.

Daniele De Rossi had put them in front and Giorgio Chiellini equalised, but the score remained 1-1 because Gigi Buffon saved Totti's spot-kick.

"I clearly expected it to be a goal," confessed the Coach. "I thought Francesco would do what he knows how to do best - score a goal. But he was faced with Buffon, who is an intimidating goalkeeper.

"I enjoyed the first five minutes of the game, then I saw Juve are a great side and their Coach has given them real character. The attitude of my team was wonderful, even with three or more players missing. The fans were also right behind us."
